[Intro]
Dm    Bb   Am   F
 Gm   Am  2x

[Verse 1]
                      Dm
Now, sometimes these thoughts
 in my head speak so loud
       Bb                   Am
Every little thing that I think
               F
 about just built on top
of the pain and doubt
       Gm
Even though I wanna
       Am
just let it out, I
Dm
 Try to act like I don't mind it,
    Bb            Am
 try to keep my mouth so quiet
F
 But sittin' there in my silence,
   Gm               Am
 just seems to amplify it
  Dm
When I thought that keepin'
         Bb           Am
 this inside would make it better
F
 I never thought that
            Gm             Am
I would end up ruining it forever
Dm
 But everytime I think,
        Bb
 I got everything put
          Am
back together
F
 I end up making more regrets,
   Gm             Am
 making more regrets

[Chorus]
 Dm
Falling from grace,
         Bb      Am
I watch it all come apart
  F
Knowing I could've
         Gm       Am
changed it all from the start
Dm                     Bb   Am
 Fighting myself, I always lose
F                      Gm   Am
 Fighting myself, I always lose

[Verse 2]
Dm
 I didn't want you to think
               Bb
I'm worn out so easily
Am           F
 I wish I'd held it in,
so you never knew what
           Bb            Am
built up inside of me
      Dm
Now, I don't know how it
                      Bb
 overflows, spill out unwillingly
 Am      F
But now, everything that
I learned to hate came
       Bb
 out for you to see
Am       Dm
I don't want you to promise
                Bb
you can change everything
       Am
and make it better
F
 'Cause you can bet,
                Gm
 I'm gonna end up ruining

 back together
F
 I end up making more regrets,
  Gm             Am
making more regrets
